great year but instant LN: "Sistah Golden Hayuh"

VHM Seger. Ditto F.Mac but I wish someone would play "Blue Letter" once in a while.

LN2: ZZT. Ain't that a kick in the tush.

BOS1 "Harry Truman", Chicago's most-underrated song. And speaking of politics: fuck Ted Nugent.

Thur 8/30/12: 1971

Yay!

FYI: the Drive's "One 45 @ 1:45" feature (that's 11:45am Pacific) has John Phillips today (his B-Day) and presumably the song will be "Mississippi", his only solo hit.

Meanwhile... sitting on a park bench...

VHM Van the Man


"What's Going on" is kinda LN but it's still pretty amazing, esp when you consider Berry Gordy didn't want to release it.

proxy of shray: Moodies.

BOS1 Janis, "Move Over", just for not being "Bobby McGee"

Pete's just a hippie gypsy. BOS2 Woody Allen, promoting Bananas: "We're gonna let people in to see it for free, and charge them to get out"


canyadiggit, canyadiggit? VHM Undisputed Troof.

LN2: James Gang. VHM H, JF & R, pulling it out.
